Will 18 F-fluorocholine PET/CT replace other methods of preoperative parathyroid imaging?

ConclusionsDue to the excellent diagnostic performance of radiolabeled choline PET/CT and the low radiation burden, this technique seems to be an ideal candidate to substitute current imaging procedures including US, MIBI scintigraphy, 4D CT and MRI and perform a fast and reliable “one-stop-shop” preoperative localization of HP in patients with PHPT, including challenging cases of postoperative persistent/recurrent disease.
